and called you my poor, dear, stricken,
suffering darling you'd have had every
tooth Jumping out of you head. It's
mighty lucky for you that you married
a man with something besides sawdust
under his scalp"
My revenge came sooner than could
have been anticipated. 1t wasn't two
weeks before Mr.. Bowser awoke me
one night at midnight by exclaiming:
"Mrs. Bowser, are you dead, or have
you become stone-deaf?"
"What is it, dear, burglars or fire."
Burglars or fire be hanged! I've
been suffering with the toothache for
the last three hours, and you've laid
there and snored away as if you didn't
care a cent whether | lived or diedr'
"But what can / doP This is the re-
suit of some carelessness of yours.
Have you cracked any walnuts in your
teeth latelyP"
He sat up in bed and held his jaw and
glared at me so fiercely that was quite
alarmed and went for the medicine

essence on cotton; then some oil of
cloves on rag; then some camphor on
the end of a tooth-pick. twas no use.

"Oh, yes, you will. Are you sure
your tooth aches?"
He looked around after his revolver,
but had slipped it under the bureau.
81 had it, you know, or thought |
had, but guess twas all imagination.
Mr.. Bowser, just imagine you haven't
tooth in your head. "
"And you just imagine that you are
an old buzzard waiting to pick my
bones ~ he roared as he danced
around
We tied a bag of hot ashes on his
face, and we put on mustard, pain
killer and almost every thing else in
the house, and none of us slept another
wink. When morning came the ache
was no better, and l coldly observed:
"Well, of course you don't want to
keep the house upset any longer.
You'd better 90 down and have il
pulled"

suffered dreadfully for the next two
days. Then he suddenly decided tc
have the tooth pulled, and asked me il
a tone he tried to make careless:
"Mrs. Bowser, don't you want to g

"Why, does your tooth still ache?"
"Still ache Great Scots, but it ha

off without another word. He re

knew from his general demeanor tina
he had been to the dentist, and tina
the aching molar had come home in hi

"Well, are you betterp" I queried.

"Why, the toothache, of course"

1t is an error to suppose that severe
winters are destructive to insect life.
According to Mr.. NcLachlan, an En-
glish entomologist, Larvae may be frozen
until as brittle as a rotton stick, in
which condition they can scarcely be
said to live, but on the return of warm
weather they revive, quite uninjured
by their freezing. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that butterflies and bumblebees
have been found almost as close to the
North Pole as man has ever approached.

Pm1LApEIPHIA, June 29.-Judge Butler
yesterday filed an opinion in the United
States court in admiralty diminishing the
libel of John P. Virden, Delaware pilot,
who claimed $72. 40 and interest from the
owners OF the barkentine Harriet q. Jack
son. The proceedings were an outcome
of the difference between the Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware pilotage laws. The
Judge said "The evidence does not sus-
tain the libel. II does not show that the
master refused to take the libellant as
pilot. On the contrary, 1t tends to show
that he did not. The conversation be-
tween the parties, relied upon by the
libellant, seems to have been half jocular.
II leaves the impression that Mr.. Virden
was simply teasing the master respecting
the question of pilotago, and that the
master answered in the same vein, saying,
Il will take you, while he knew that Mr..
yirden personally would not go. The
libel must be dismissed with the costs, "

CRrsF1nLD, ND, June GA terrific
wind and rain storm, with some hail,
visited this portion of Somerset county
about O'Clock this afternoon. The wind
was pronounced by many to be the
strongest for few minutes ever Known
here. Ohimneys were blown down, win
dows blown out of houses and the build
inRs shaken SO that in some instances the
inmates went out into the streets. Several
vessels were capsized while lying OF an
Choir in the harbor. The end was blown
out of the depot Of the Eastern Shore
Steamboat Company, and cart that was
on the switches OF the New York, Phila-
delphia 4 Norfolk railroad, was blown oil
the track into the pit of the turn-table.
The oupola was carried away from the large
brick house belonging to Mr.. Daniel Col
Inns, and chimneys were blown from the
roofs Of several houses. During the storm
the cry of fire summoned great thronl
of people to the street. The alarm wat
caused by the chimney falling from MIR
George Longs storehouse and the smoke
rushing down the pipe. Rain fell in tor
rents for about half an hour. It is no
known how far the storm extended, bll
fear is expressed that much damage hn
been done to the wheat crop.

BALTIMORE, June 29.-The young man
who jumped from the ferry-boat on
North river last night is supposed
to be Walter L. Terrell, aged 30
years, Of this city. His father,
George W. Terrell, was seen at
his residence at an early hour this morn
ing. He feared his son was the person
indicated in the telegram from Jersey
City as he has sister named Alice and
the initials signed to the letter found
on the boat correspond to those of his
sons name. The father said his son was
seen in Baltimore, Monday, though he
had been absent from the city for
quite a time before. Three years
ago last Thursday young Terrell
was seriously injured by the discharge of
pistol in his own hands, which sent a
bullet through his skull. For time his
life was in danger. He never afterwards
regained his former vigor.
